We are very sorry to announce that we are unable to hold Essex Dog Day in 2022. Many of our volunteers are unavailable due to other commitments and circumstances beyond their control which will make it very difficult to deliver the event that people would expect. Wishing all of the Dogs in Essex a fun and happy summer.
A class for everyone
